Safe Asset

Here's a little iPad pouch for my grandma. She's so cool. She's a great quilter to know. Grandma was telling me about shot cottons five years ago. About sewing with selvages ten years ago. Also, she has an iPad! This totally tickles me.

Grandma loves Kaffe Fassett's fabric. Made-two-quilts-out-of-just-his-fabric loves it. So I had to use some in this project. Thanks for sharing your fabric with me, grandma!

Orange is my new favorite color. If only I'd had orange thread when I went to quilt this.

P.S. Today my post title doubles as a public service announcement. Kaffe Fassett rhymes with safe asset. So if you've been calling him Coffee or Calf or Cough, you can stop now. Safe asset. Just like grandma's iPad.

You are a sweet granddaughter.Here is what tickles me: seeing these "new" and "modern" quilts, blogs, and patterns that are really just new & modern fabrics in age old patterns. It is one of the reasons I hang on to some old quilt mags - to recognize the timeless beauty of blocks. But I love the newer techniques to get the same look.
